A 41-year-old man serving a work-release sentence in the Weld County Jail faces charges after he told deputies he repeatedly sexually assaulted a then-teenage girl eight years ago.

Eric Langley told deputies in February that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a girl who was in her early teens at the time, according to an arrest affidavit. The girl told police Langley approached her about 50 separate times for sexual contact. She said on one occasion he forced her to have sex, the report states.

Langley talked with investigators, telling them he had sex with the teenager, and he inappropriately touched her. He told police he didn’t remember any other specific sexual acts, likely because he was often intoxicated during that time period. He said the girl was probably telling the truth about anything that happened, according to the arrest affidavit.

Langley faces one count of sexual assault on a child — pattern of abuse, and one count of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.

He was being held in the Weld County Jail on $75,000 bond as of Thursday evening. Authorities have not released his booking photo.
